Two hospitalized in pickup crash

POSEY COUNTY, Ind. - A two-vehicle crash in Posey County Wednesday night sent two Illinois men to Deaconess Hospital in Evansville where they remained in critical condition Thursday, according to a hospital spokesman.

Steven Wright, 44, of Ridgway, Ill., and Kevin D. Neal, 53, of Equality, Ill., were injured when their pickup trucks collided about 8:35 p.m. on Indiana 62 one mile east of the Wabash Memorial Bridge.

Posey County Sheriff Greg Oeth said an eastbound GMC pickup truck, driven by Wright, went left of center and struck a westbound Chevrolet pickup truck, driven by a Neal.

One of the drivers was flown to Deaconess Hospital, and the other driver was transported by ambulance, Oeth said.
